. On August 24, 1939 in Coldspring, Texas a baby girl was born. Her parents, Sol Boyd and Claretha Boyd-Spiller named her Ola Pearl. She was the third of 12 children. Ola Pearl accepted Christ at a very early age under the leadership of Rev. J.B. Adams at St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church in Coldspring, Texas. She later became a member of Pillar of Glory Christian Tabernacle under the leadership of Bishop Amos York, Sr. in Houston, Texas where she remained faithful until God called her home. Ola Pearl excelled academically and graduated in 1956 at age 16 from Lincoln High School in Coldspring, Texas where she was also crowned “Miss. Lincoln”. After graduating from high school she moved to Houston, Texas and attended Franklin Beauty College and received her Cosmetology license. In 1957, she married Augusta Bogany, Sr. and they were blessed with ten beautiful children, Ramonia, Augusta, Jr., Anthony, Yolanda, Efrem, Andreà, Lorenzo, Karen, Daphne, and Derrick. Ola Pearl and August shared 54 years of marriage. Ola Pearl was a woman of strength and she had a heart filled with love for God’s people. She never met a stranger and always had open arms, a listening ear and words of wisdom for anyone who needed it. She was known for her love of cooking delicious meals and God blessed her with overflowing cupboards, big pots full of food and lots of family and friends who always knew that if they showed up at the Boganys’ house they were sure to get some of momma’s soul food. Ola Pearl will truly be missed but the love she shared will live on in our hearts always. On August 16, 2012, God dispatched an angel to relieve Ola of her earthly responsibilities. She is preceded in death by her eldest son Augusta Bogany, Jr., daughter- in-law Michelle Bogany, her father, two brothers, and two sisters.
